The kids had a good time checking out the snow and walking on the deck ponds. It has been years since we have had any decent snow. Already a lot has melted off.

Did you see those squirrels? and birds..............the ground was covered with birds and squirrels snacking on the bird seed.

I have those same herons @addy1 - we call them Darren and Sharon Heron.
I got them real cheap, think it was dr foster and smith on their close out page, years ago. They are on the deck with the deck ponds, no fish to protect, but there are some frogs. Right now not sure how the frogs and tads are doing, the ponds might be frozen solid. They are shallow like 18 inches or so.

Oh my gosh! It's so pretty.
I love the ice covering it sparkles like someone decorated every tree, every bush, every leaf, glows when the sun comes up. It all melted yesterday, the ice. I was out before sunrise to grab the shots. Hard to capture the shine on a photo. Maybe if I was a professional I would know what settings to use lol.
